Somerset area vets (Taunton)

Hi, I've been looking up the best veterinary practices for rabbit care in the Taunton area. Just wondered if anyone on here is from Taunton, or even anywhere in Somerset who can recommend a vet? The closer the better, but I'm more than willing to travel if it means getting the best care, and as we all know, recommendations are more trustworthy than anything :)!

I'll check it out. Like I say, I'm not worried about travelling as long as I know they're trustworthy

I am also from Taunton, I have not had my bunny long but have registered him with a local vet to be vaccinated. I can't say that they were the best so if you do find a good one please let me know :)

I've only had my 2 for a week. Going to do some research this weekend into bunny savvy ones, see if there's any in Taunton. Will let you know :)
 
GrahamL is from the somerset area I tthink and might be able to advise.

Ian sayers in paignton is amazing, but I'm assuming might not be suitable as a regular vet as it'd be well over an hours drive for you. I'm still searching for a good vet in exeter!
 
Someone has recommended Ian Sayers, and had one recommended in Bridgwater, just wondering if there's one within Taunton. I don't mind travelling for the best care!

If travel is really no issue for you, register with ian sayers! He apparently used to run a rabbit clinic in Bristol and currently takes all the rabbit referrals for the south west. I so wish I could use him as my usual vet, honesty, he is just fab.
 
Thank you. I looked and looked and none really stood out to me so good luck :) I don't mind travelling but I think Paignton is just a little too far. I will pm kmazzy now. Thank you everyone for your help :)

If he is really that good perhaps travelling to Paignton really is worth I will have a look into it thanks again.

Blake Vets for sure, used both their surgeries (one in Burnham, where I am, and one in Bridgwater where Schez is) excellent vets as long as you get one of the small animal vets.

Ian Sayers is a long way from Taunton, its just over an hour give or take, too long for a regular vet trip i'd say. From Taunton you could do J23 on the M5 in 10 minutes at the speed limit.

There is also a vets on the toneway in Taunton, just by the crossroads (if coming out of Taunton, its on your left, you take the road for the A38 and turn left immediately) by Creech Castle, but don't know of their reputation :wave: Could be worth checking out as it would be very close?

The one by Creech Castle is very close. Think I'll check them out, ask a few questions and see if they know their stuff. Someone did recommend Blake Vets, so maybe I'll use them if I can't find one within Taunton :) thank you!

I found that thread before and jotted down the questions :) but when you call, you don't generally speak to a vet, so would it be best to go down and speak to them?

I have to say, I always phone, ask for an email address, or find one from their website and ask the questions :wave:

Ooooo that's a good idea.
Its a shame that if you own anything other than a cat, or dog, you have to go through this kind of fuss to find a trustworthy vet :/
